Alina Rubetshas quoted2 years ago
There are all kinds of Heroes, but they tend to have certain things in common. Once again, this list includes:

▪ Having desires and goals the player can identify with

▪ Changing and growing over the course of the story

▪ Taking action to resolve the conflict

▪ Taking personal risks for stakes that are equally personal

▪ Being willing to sacrifice it all
